You absolutely right about it been a memory hogger Gucci but everything seems cool on the E90.I usually have about 74mb's after bootup.After running Opera 10 and opening Esato Im sitting with 49.5mb.Opening up SF as another page takes it down to 44.7mb's.So it looks like Im going to be ok.
A couple of bugs for the E90 is all QWERTY related.The spacebar is 1 and not a space (the 0 becomes your space key)and all symbols above the top row number keys for some reason dont exist.Im just happy its working though and Im sure once the final product comes out it will all be sorted out.

@JC Have you got Opera 10 installed yet?
@GUCCI How much RAM does the N97 have if they only have 5mb left just browsing HoFo? Thats ridiculous.

Installed Opera 10 this morning and its plain sluggish...I'm not one for checking how much RAM applications take on my phone but my phone was barely keeping up, ok maybe I'm going on too much but suffice to say the experience was not good.

N97 has around 50mb RAM on boot up,but i guess most peeps have that N97 Stand By with the Widgets turned On so after some time the RAM sits at around 27-30mb ,now throw Opera10 in with a bit of HoFo browsing and thats around 25mb RAM gone. Its running fine on the N81, have around 43mb RAM available when nothing is running, boot up Opera10 open 3tabs, and it settles at 16mb, so i can still play Music and have MXit or Gravity up.

its a beauty in Silver. I see its free on MTN, not sure of the contract but you pay around R359pm if im not mistaken.

I've always thought Satio looks good in silver than any other colour.

I remember back then how long phones by SE took to reach us but now it looks like one month is enough. Good on them for sorting out their distribution channel.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009

Back to Opera8.65 i go lol, as great as 10 Beta is, it still needs quite a bit of work to be done to it,realy enjoyed using it,never did get any memory errors,but got quite a few freezes, and ye agree with Brix,quite sluggish,especialy compared to 8.65 and Ucweb.

@Rhino: I wouldn't have any beef parting with so much cashmoney every month for this masterpiece...the premium is probably due to the camera. If I'm not mistaken its the biggest one available locally. Hope one of you guys can give a review of the Satio in "native" conditions.

Must say im getting sick of all the: "Symbian is going to die" bullshit. When did these people suddenly become economists? I understand if its just an opinion,but the majority speak as if its fact and that they some how know the future,wonder where i was when the life memo was handed out? how can such a large amount of big manufacturers and quite a number of small companies invest so much in something thats apparently going to fall from +35% marketshare to 0% in the next year or 2?well going by the know-it-alls on the forums. if Symbian make it and start taking back or maintain the same marketshare im going to be looking at these people for answers.

On Maemo AND Android but ye i do care, Symbian still has a lot to offer. . . .i think lol. Id like an N900 but its gona be expensive ,so im looking at Hero and Tattoo, if im very lucky the MotoMilestone wont be much lol.
Just hate how they talk like its certain that Symbian is going,its so unrealistic for something so big to just be dropped. I think theyl lose most of us "tech geeks" but not your average user,who thinks the N97 and 5800xm are amazing.

Ja you guys are right about Opera 10 beta.Not worth it at this stage.Aside from the QWERTY bugs for the E90,sluggish is what it is.Will wait for Final.
